Burliar landslip: call to run more buses from Kundha to Coimbatore

The Coonoor Consumer Protection Association has sought more buses to be operated from Kundha in the Nilgiris to Mettupalayam in Coimbatore due to the ongoing traffic disruptions caused by a massive landslip near Burliar last month.S. Manogaran, president of the association, has called on the government and the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) to operate more buses to Coimbatore from Kundha taluk. Currently, residents from major towns such as Manjoor have to travel all the way to Kotagiri to board buses to reach Coimbatore.This has made travel difficult for residents, particularly to those who need to travel for medical emergencies and treatments and senior citizens.“Only two buses currently operate from the Kundah region to Coimbatore. Owing to the heavy rush on these services, many passengers are forced to travel standing all the way to Coimbatore,” he added. In view of these difficulties, the Coonoor Consumer Protection Association has urged the authorities to operate additional bus services to Coimbatore via the Manjoor–Ketti route until the Burliar route is restored.
